CLASH

SAINTS-CYCLONES GAME IN TOMORROW'S SOFTBALL SCHEDULE Cardinals Handicapped In Tilt With Panthers: Babida Reported To Be Indisposed

BY ROY.

Although the usual six-game programme will be staged tomorrow at the Kowloon Football Club, there are but two matches in which the contestants are fairly evenly matched. The card commences with the Wildcats-Ram- blerettes clash at 9 am, and even the latters' supporters are unlikely to concede the Recreio girls much chance of taking the honours. The Wildcats have been practising hard, since their surprise defeat at the hands of the Wahoos earlier in the season, and should be much too. powerful for their opponents.

Another track-meet will be the Wahoos-Little Flower Club fixture which is next on the card. The Green Owls have improved beyond knowledge since Big Chief Therese' Noronha rejoined the squad and it is most unlikely that the Florinhas will be within ten tallies of their score when the last put-out is made.

Best of the ladies' games over the Recreio Bees to their will be the Baby Panthers-credit, appear to have the edge.
